BIO 3210 - Ecology I (Ecosystems)

Prerequisite(s): General Biology I and General Biology II [BIO 1330 and BIO 1350 (with laboratories, BIO 1340 and BIO 1360)]; Chemistry I and Chemistry II [CH 1220 and CH 1230 (with laboratories)]; concurrent with Ecology I Field Work (BIO 3220).
As the first in a two-course series, ECOLOGY I provides active learning environments and engagement with the regional community of soil scientists, land use experts, and wetlands developers. Focused on the organism in its physical environment, this course builds upon understanding from GENERAL BIOLOGY I where macro-biology was the concentration, but also requires cellular and molecular foundations from GENERAL BIOLOGY II. Student learning addresses the complexity of intra- and interspecies dynamics among the vast diversity of seventeen ecosystems. 3 CREDITS; concurrent with ECOLOGY I FIELD WORK (BIO 3220). Credit(s): 3
